Mosaics

NASA's Mars rover Curiosity took 8 images in Gale Crater using its mast-mounted Left Navigation Camera (Navcam) to create this mosaic. The seam-corrected mosaic provides a 264-degree cylindrical-perspective projection panorama of the Martian surface suitable for stereo viewing, centered at 332 degrees azimuth (measured clockwise from north). This single-eye view must be combined with the partner right image to be viewed in stereo. Curiosity took the images on July 26, 2013, Sol 344 of the Mars Science Laboratory mission at drive 0, site number 10. The local mean solar time for the image exposures was from 2 PM to 3 PM. Each Navcam image has a 45-degree field of view.
